crash


I was hoping for a total loss, but this lovely fender job/door job is going to set my insurance back $9332.97.

Guh! First and foremost are you ok, what hit you, and at what speed? That is one extremely nasty hit.

a few days earlier I posted something about the crash, but the pictures messed up. i was hit by an uninsured driver who didn't have a license either. she ran a red light. she was going pretty good because she knocked my car across the street before it stopped. The car did exactly what it was supposed to do in the way of dissipating the energy of the crash away from the passenger. i was completely unharmed. i was wondering...will my warranty be voided by this crash even though a honda dealership is doing the repairs?

This is the damage that really concerned me. the strut was crushed, steering knuckle crushed, hub destroyed, abs sensor destroyed, control arm destroyed. They collision shop manager said since everything collapsed instead of being shoved inward, the transmission, etc was saved.

Sorry about your loss! I hope it was totaled so that you won't end up w/ a car that has a collision record which will lower your future trade-in/sales price should you decide to sell your car later.

at this time i am in a rented black Mazda5. actually a pretty cool little ?van?
i don't know what to call it. As for the lady who hit me....all she got was a ticket for no license and a ticket for no insurance. that's pretty much it. ghetto trash is all she is. no regard for anyone, no regard for laws, possibly no regard for herself.

Tomorrow morning will be nice and sunny and breezy and Jesus will come to take us to a new world of peace and harmony and the all will be fine. :-)

I am going to celebrate by ordering a big bento box dinner tomorrow!

If the woman is stupid enough to be driving around with no license or insurance, chances are she probably doesn't have any money anyway, so suing her would probably be a huge waste of time.

So I guess since our new Prezodent is against the right to bear arms, I'm assuming citizens arrest or the right to shoot idiots on the spot will never come to fruition. That really sucks.
